"Butt Call"

Have you ever made a 'butt call" with your cell phone? You know, dialed someone without realizing it?  I just did and then all of a sudden that person was calling ME!  I missed the call, so called her back.  This is when I realized what had happened.

Well, since we know each other well enough, we actually talked about various and sundry things for quite a while.  We too, sit close to each other during week-day masses, at least until Covid hit. Things have not been the same since Covid, but that is nothing new to any of us!

Maybe this phone call was a gift from God.  It certainly was a gift for me, helping me  realize how much I enjoy talking to people that I meet on a daily basis in various  places during my day.  It makes me think that there have been many changes that we possibly aren't even aware of until coincidental situations happen like this butt call. 

I have a list of names that I had called many months ago but haven't called any of them lately. Have you ever thought for yourself how much more energized you, too, might be if you called a few people just to let them know you are thinking of them.  Such an innocent little gesture...simple...easy, and probably would be so appreciated on the other end! Not exactly a "butt call" but it really doesn't have to be, either!  

It's amazing to me, too, that such an innocent little "snafu" can bring one to such a reflection, especially in prompting one to some action. In the bigger picture of life, if one would pause long enough to see a higher purpose, being, or God in all things it might make all the daily struggles easier to bear. At least it has to me; what about you?
